We love a bold makeup look.
Enter: “bat wing” eyeliner.
Luckily,Hughes' bat wing eyeliner techniqueis here to save the day.
@smithadepak
The trick is to apply your eyeliner with your eyes open and looking straight ahead.
To be clear, that’s not a bad thing.
The unique shapestarted by Hughesis something of a legend on social media now.

Bat Wing Eyeliner 101
Need a video refresher on how to apply the bat wing eyeliner trend?
Here, makeup artist Ariel shows us how it’s done via a concise but informative TikTok video.
Key to her technique is keeping eyes open, which makes a clean tool easy to achieve.
@maevaattrait
Here, she got creative with eyeshadow and makeup remover to mimic the appearance of traditional eyeliner formulas.
Cotton swabs dipped in micellar water work wonders for cleanup.
These bold, tattoo-inspired wings.

When Tesha’s eyes are half-closed, you’re able to see the full silhouette.
But when her eyes are wide open, the tailored design molds into a classic wing.
Pretty cool, no?
@smithadepak
And, if you ask us, Instagram MUA and YouTube sensation SmithaDeepak nailed the look.
Don’t believe us?
That’s the case for YouTuber Saifa.
@yeoinbird
That’s exactly what makeup artist Lauren Mellusi managed with this look.
The crisp edges come to a sharp yet seemingly infinite point.
